| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 6 |
| Treble | 5 |
| Reverb | 2 |
| Master | 4 |
01Hotone Ampero (Comp / Boost Block)
Compressor/Clean Boost in front to even out Tele single-coil attack
02Hotone Ampero (Dark OD / Rat Dist Block)
Main high-gain distortion source running into the clean Twin
03Hotone Ampero (Digital Delay Block)
Set tempo to 67 BPM with dotted-eighth subdivision
04Hotone Ampero (Hall / Cloud Reverb Block)
Ambient wash behind the big riff
The Twin Reverb is an ultra-clean platform with scooped mids and huge headroom, so all the heavy dirt comes directly from the Ampero's distortion block. Keep the Twin's Bright switch OFF and roll the Tele's tone knob slightly back to 8 to prevent the bridge single-coil from sounding harsh through Fender's top-end shelf. Use the Ampero direct into the front input with high-gain Rat/British distortion and ambient time-effects.
